Karen is married and has 2 grown children and 1 grand baby. She spends lots of time outside; planting flowers, playing golf, and going to OU football games! Karen says, “The residents make every day worth coming to work. It’s so rewarding to know they feel like part of your own family.” Her goal as the leader of this community is to try to make everyone’s life brighter each day.

Jennifer’s family includes 2 sons and a huge dog! She and her husband are church planters and lead Identity Church in downtown OKC. Jennifer’s favorite part of her role at VOP is educating seniors and their families about the benefits of living in a community like ours. She spends much of her time leading classes and hosting events so that everyone can understand how important it is to have a balanced lifestyle as we age.

Kelly enjoys spending time with her husband and two children. She has been serving the senior population for over 15 years, beginning her journey as a caregiver, transitioning into healthcare, and ultimately discovering her passion for activities. Kelly values building meaningful relationships and believes in the power of connection. Her goal is to bring people together, create joyful moments, and, of course, welcome plenty of smiles along the way. She truly loves what she does and finds her greatest happiness in bringing joy to others.

Diana is married and is very proud of her two grown sons! She enjoys working out, doing crafts and crocheting. The reason Diana loves her work is because we have such awesome, loving residents. They have such great stories to tell about their lives and when she’s not in her office, she can be found intently listening to one of them!

Dale feels that God has brought him full circle back to where He wants him to be.

Jeremiah Johnson has been at Village on the Park since 2016 serving as a Maintenance Assistant and now as Director of Maintenance. He lives in Mustang with his wife and 2 sons. Jeremiah loves our residents and helping them with all their maintenance needs! "It is an honor to serve seniors and be trusted to take care of them, so they don't have to worry about maintaining their home anymore.

I began my healthcare career in 1992 as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), where I first discovered my passion for caring for others. In 1998, I advanced my career by becoming a Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN), and in 2016, I earned my Registered Nurse (RN) license.

Throughout my years in nursing, I developed a deep appreciation for gerontology, which has become the focus of my professional journey. Working with the geriatric population has taught me that every individual carries a lifetime of experiences, wisdom, and stories.

My personal motto is, “No matter the age, everyone’s story is worth listening to.” Caring for older adults remains both meaningful and rewarding; each day brings new lessons, connections, and adventures.
